Notes
Active Launcher for Stock 2.1 ROM
THIS LAUNCHER IS AS SMOOTH AS THE STOCK X8 LAUNCHER IN STOCK ROM. DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT PROBABLY BECAUSE IT IS OPTIMIZED TO RUN ON ORIGINAL SONY ERICSSON ROMS AND SONY ERICSSON ENVIRONMENT. THIS WORKS WITH STOCK ROM
Reccomendations:
*Do not install as system app - it does not like to be a system app
*Do not uninstall the stock x8 launcher - it works good with it and don't worry only one launcher will be running at an instance, unless a FC happens.
What's new
*"up arrow"
*Active Launcher features
Bugs [ONLY IN STOCK 2.1 ROM]
*Can't add folder - but to be honest who gives a damn, if your using the original x8 launcher you woudn't even have this or all the other feature.
*Can only add app shortcut, not other shortcuts for example "Manage Application" shortcut - Again you can't do this with stock x8 launcher

Someone already did this.....?

Yes I was about to mention this...
The difference here is that u have the 4 corners and also you do not need to flash this with all the other facebook inside xperia stuff (Which don't work properly).
you just install this apk as normal.

Wow, that's cool! But I'm on stock ROM. I don't think it will work. Anyway, nice share!

Oh, I like its smoothness (when you first flash with no apps), but I then hate its UI (status bar is eukkk).
Ever try GCZ? I heard its supposed to be like stock SE UI

Thank you so much _Sparks, just a question, I only use 2 widgets, so 5 screens are too much. And it even has 4 corners to store apps! So can I edit the apk to make launcher has only 3, or 1 screen? If I can, how to do that?

You can edit it but you need to change the integers file just search in xda, i think u need apk manager and android sdk
If u need me to i can make one with 3 screens for u when i have time

can some one adapt Data Monitor for x10mini? i'm using miniCM7 2.1.6 and can't install latest versions of this app, only 1.0.4 worked properly
The Switch would be great but it is too...big for the screen.
The color is not black too.
Thanks anyway

[MOD] Circular Battery & ICS Transitions For MiniCM7Pro - V21

Got MiniCM7 Pro - v21?
Wanted a circular battery with a percentage figure instead of that annoying cylinder icon?
Well, here it is. Here are two zip files you can install through ClockworkMod that replaces the battery icon in the default "System" theme".
Why two zips? Well, one of them will also give you Ice-Cream Sandwich transitions, which is always nice.
This is based on MiniCM7 Pro - v21 by paul-xxx but might work on previous versions.
Always make sure you backup before you try it.
Credit goes to capez for the ICS animations (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342117) and shivenjuneja for the modifying instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849223)
---Edited 26th Jan 2012---
Now includes a zip with just the ICS transitions on their own.
---Edited 29th Jan 2012---
This has now been done for nobodyAtall's rom, MiniCm7. I didn't do the hard work on this one so head here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467971) to check it out.
And be sure to thank ChavitoArg when you do!
What rom are you using? And what launcher? Its quite good

Apologies to all who downloaded it but you need to download it again.
is it possible to get your transitions as a zip-file without the circle batterie?

It is most definitely possible. If you can share your framework-res.apk file, I can do it for you.

Custom ics for mini

Hey!
As all of you guys know that Stock ICS ROM is little buggy and lags so i want to play with some CUSTOM ROM
Which is the best CUSTOM ROM based on ICS for ST15i for LOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY
You should use the Search button. Anyway, THESE four ROMs are flashable with a locked bootloader.
Thanks but want to know the best from the 4 suggested by you.:beer:

No such thing as the best this and the best that.
Everyone had different needs, preferences etc so what others like doesnt mean u'll like it too.
Try them all and decide for yourself.

[Q] I need rom with...

Hi. I`m looking for a rom with xperia widgets (i like xperias weather widget) and stock ics look (no white xperia icons). I prefer GB but ICS will be good too. I tried use ics launchers (holo and others) but anyone didn`t work with xperia widgets on stock or custom rom (weather and music player). I checked 8 roms on my mango but anyone didn`t give me what i need.
Q: It is a rom with my needs?
If NO, Can somebody edit icons from xperia home.apk to stocj ics icons? It is posible? Maybe other theme?
I used half a year optimus one with ICS and I accustomed to this look.

Edit :
Here you go buddy first flash the BE + Time scape zip and on top of that flash the timescape fix and then copy the SE _active launcher to the /system/app

any plans to fix the infinite view bug and add all other SE widgets? I would love to use them on my SGS2 device.. Cheers..

the infinite view has a bug yes as its based on the gingerbread framework , I will need to look into it however I am not a pro developer so would need the help of devs here , also the launcher is the Gingerbread launcher , the newer SE launchers wont recognize the widgets..
In simple words it won't work on touchwiz,? right?

Logically we should be able to trick the widget to work with Touch whiz too but just not able to find the right spot to identify the code... will check what I can do ..
